A destructor kfunc can be defined as void func(type *), where type may
be void or any other pointer type as per convenience.
In this patch, we ensure that the type is sane and capture the function
pointer into off_desc of ptr_off_tab for the specific pointer offset,
with the invariant that the dtor pointer is always set when 'kptr_ref'
tag is applied to the pointer's pointee type, which is indicated by the
flag BPF_MAP_VALUE_OFF_F_REF.
Note that only BTF IDs whose destructor kfunc is registered, thus become
the allowed BTF IDs for embedding as referenced kptr. Hence it serves
the purpose of finding dtor kfunc BTF ID, as well acting as a check
against the whitelist of allowed BTF IDs for this purpose.
Finally, wire up the actual freeing of the referenced pointer if any at
all available offsets, so that no references are leaked after the BPF
map goes away and the BPF program previously moved the ownership a
referenced pointer into it.
The behavior is similar to BPF timers, where bpf_map_{update,delete}_elem
will free any existing referenced kptr. The same case is with LRU map's
bpf_lru_push_free/htab_lru_push_free functions, which are extended to
reset unreferenced and free referenced kptr.
Note that unlike BPF timers, kptr is not reset or freed when map uref
drops to zero.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
